Something in The Air, I Swear.......

Everything is so crazy lately...... can we blame it all on the weather? All of these cloudy, drippy, dreary, damp days...

First, ML across the street goes out of town and leaves her mom home alone with a five-pound Yorkie who has a bottomless pit of energy. Then, our friend F ends up in the ICU at the hospital because her lungs are unable to get air in and out and in and out. Now, our friend J is in the hospital because the drugstore where he gets his prescriptions filled gave him the wrong medications. J didn't question the new medication and the new dosage... he just started taking the pills..... and the results were stroke-like symptoms that could've sent him into a coma.

Fortunately, one of J's friends got him to the hospital when he saw that J couldn't walk or speak properly. When J's doctor saw the medication he was taking, and the dosage amount that he was following, he told J that he's lucky to be alive.

I swear...... I've been on the phone all afternoon......... checking up on M across the street, then on J in a hospital near the downtown area..... then calling our friend F's daughter in Ohio to tell her that I saw her mom this morning. Both my husband and I went to the hospital to see F, who, by the way, is doing better than she was last night when I went to the ICU to see her. She's better than she was, but not as well as she should be. Her daughter is flying down from Ohio tomorrow and will stay till the weekend. I told F's daughter that I don't think her mother should be living alone anymore. Between F's daughter and her son, they should be able to work something out.

Two words for the day: Stay healthy! (And checking all of your prescriptions when you pick them up at the pharmacy wouldn't hurt either.)
